Branched-chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) refer to three essential (your body doesn’t make them on its own) amino acids: Isoleucine, Leucine and Valine. While most amino acids are oxidized in the liver, BCAAs are predominantly oxidized in muscles and other peripheral tissues. All three of these amino acids support muscle growth, maintenance and recovery, while reducing fatigue, helping you get maximum benefits out of your workout sessions.

Isoleucine stimulates glucose uptake into cells, which helps fuel your muscles and minimizes protein breakdown during exercise. One of its major functions is to act as a building block for protein synthesis.

Leucine plays an important role in muscle protein synthesis as well, having the greatest impact of the three amino acids on muscle gain and recovery. One of its primary roles is in the regulation of genetic signaling pathways that are involved in protein synthesis. The breakdown of leucine results in the production of two molecules, acetoacetate and acetyl- CoA, that are utilized by the body to obtain energy.

Valine assists in preventing the breakdown of muscle tissue by providing the muscle with additional glucose necessary to produce energy during exercise. This amino acid is efficient in rapidly recovering damaged muscle tissue. Also, Valine plays an important role in maintaining the proper amount of nitrogen in the body, which is vital for muscle metabolism and growth.
